SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Presolicitation notices are used by the Government for several 
reasons, one of which is to aid prospective contractors in submitting 
proposals without undue expenditure of effort, time, and money. The 
Government also uses the presolicitation notices to control printing 
and mailing costs. The presolicitation notice response is used to 
determine the number of solicitation documents needed and to assure 
that interested offerors receive the solicitation documents. The 
responses are placed in the contract file and referred to when 
solicitation documents are ready for mailing. After mailing, the 
responses remain in the contract file and become a matter of record.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 5,310.
    Responses per Respondent: 8.
    Annual Responses: 42,480.
    Hours per Response: .08.
    Total Burden Hours: 3,398.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat (MVCB), 1275 1st Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20417, telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB Control 
No. 9000-0037, Presolicitation Notice and Response, in all 
correspondence.

    Dated: April 15, 2011.

Acting Director, Office of Governmentwide Acquisition Policy.
